The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena Review
Embrace the dark.
What more would you expect from a man feared by all and who flourishes in the darkness.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, stars none other than Riddick, the most ruthless and feared criminal in the universe. Picking up from the latest installment, Escape from Butcher Bay, Riddick now finds himself captured aboard the Dark Athena, a mercenary ship that is determined to finish him off once and for all.
- Difficulty: Overall, I didn’t find the game too challenging, which led me to get bored more quickly then I would have liked. The most challenging aspect I found was at times, trying to find a vent to jump into to take me to the next level. Killing the enemy didn’t prove too hard when you’ve got Riddick’s moves down.
- Graphics: The remastered version of “Escape from Butcher Bay” is like night and day. They’ve really stepped it up in quality. Overall, the game was good. Despite it being too dark for my taste in most levels, but what can you expect from a man who’s supposed to see in the dark. Also if you’re looking for a game that is detailed with it’s fighting techniques, you’ll like this. This game is packed full of graphic ways to execute your enemies.
- If you’re looking to challenge online opponents, you’ll enjoy its multiplayer option. You’ll experience new game modes not experienced in this game or Butcher Bay.
- In Dark Athena, you’re pretty much getting a 2-for-1 deal. Along with the new Riddick, you’ll also get a new version and remastered The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.
- I wasn’t all that impressed by the pace of the game. I know that Riddick is supposed to be all stealthy and work his way through the ship undetected, but sometimes I found my ADD catching up with me, hoping to find some action soon. But I will say that when I did find some, it was fun having Riddick go off in his berserker mode or sneaking up behind the clueless drones.
Overall, I’d say this game was good. Despite the slow pace and sometimes lack of action, I have no complaints. So if you’re looking for a fun game, that isn’t too challenging, I’d recommend trying out The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.
